Ryan Gosling Will Star as ‘Wolfman,’ the Latest Monster Movie from Universal
Universal Pictures has lined up the latest revamp from its classic catalogue of monster movies, with Ryan Gosling set to take on the title role in “Wolfman.” As first reported by Variety, Gosling will lead this new take on the iconic Universal property, which dates back to 1935’s “Werewolf of London,” starring Henry Hull in the role, and was later reimagined by the studio as “The Wolf Man,” starring Lon Chaney Jr. in 1941. Universal has yet to confirm a director for “Wolfman,” but via comment to IndieWire, the studio did confirm the project. According to the report, “Wolfman” will likely be sent in present day, a move in line with Universal’s recent push for properties pulled from the Dark Universe legacy with a contemporary spin. That proved to be a huge success with the February release of “The Invisible Man,” which earned more than $122 million at the global box office.

Ryan Reynolds, Shawn Levy Reteam for Time-Travel Adventure Movie From Skydance
The project, once titled ‘Our Name Is Adam,’ will be the next movie to shoot from the team behind the upcoming video game adventure movie ‘Free Guy.’ Ryan Reynolds and Shawn Levy are reteaming for an untitled time-travel adventure project for Skydance. Reynolds and Levy, who have the video game adventure movie Free Guy set to hit theaters later this year, will star and direct, respectively, and produce the project along with Skydance’s David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger. Also producing is George Dewey through Reynolds’ Maximum Effort banner. It will be the next movie for both Reynolds and Levy, with a fourth-quarter shoot on the East Coast being eyed, depending on where things stand with recovery from the coronavirus pandemic. The project is being written by Jonathan Tropper, who wrote Levy’s 2014 ensemble dramedy This Is Where I Leave You. It is being reconfigured from a previous version of a project once titled Our Name Is Adam, which began life as a spec from T.S. Nowlin. The project has been in and out of development with Skydance and Paramount since at least 2012, when it had Tom Cruise attached briefly.
